Ryan and I started a tradition when we were dating of having our 'own' Christmas. I decorated his bachelor-pad apartment with stockings and garland, and we exchanged gifts. After we were married, we continued this tradition with a full Christmas dinner and stocking/gift exchange before we leave town to visit our families. Its one of my favorite things about Christmas each year!

| Of course Hunter's favorite thing was the tissue paper! |
This year, we held Christmas on Sunday December 23. We started with cinnamon rolls for breakfast, church, and then an afternoon of gift exchange and cooking. For dinner I made: Roasted Pumpkin soup, twice baked potatoes, cider-glazed bacon green beans, rolls and Prime Rib with a berry punch. I have to admit, it was one of the best meals I have ever made. AMAZING!

After dinner we held a group skype with my family in Maryland and California. It was so fun to be all together and open gifts together-- almost as good as being there in person. We finished the night with packing for our Utah Christmas (I was very proud with the minimal packing I did and fit everything, including gifts and my madela in my carry-on bag).
